|

<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />You can distribute license information for software
|
||
|
|
products that use i5/OS™ license management. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For these products, the license information includes message queues to
|
||
|
|
receive messages, the log violations indicator, the usage limit, and software
|
||
|
|
license keys. The current list of license users is not distributed from the
|
||
|
|
central system to the target systems.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To display a list of software products and features that use license management,
|
||
|
|
run the Work with License Information (WRKLICINF) command.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can include all of the software license information for all of the
|
||
|
|
target systems on your distribution media. The appropriate license information
|
||
|
|
for each target system is automatically loaded as part of the installation
|
||
|
|
process.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Setting the usage limit is different depending on the type of
|
||
|
|
product being distributed. The usage limit for standard products that contain
|
||
|
|
license information must be set on the central system before you create the
|
||
|
|
distribution media. It is then automatically included on the distribution
|
||
|
|
media and distributed to the target systems. For keyed products, the usage
|
||
|
|
limit is part of the license key. Every keyed product on each target system
|
||
|
|
requires a unique key for the product to run on the target systems. Thus,
|
||
|
|
you must add all the license keys for all the target systems to the distribution
|
||
|
|
media before you create the distribution media. <img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>

<div class="section"><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><h4 class="sectiontitle">When to distribute license information for licensed
|
||
|
|
programs</h4><p>The appropriate time to distribute license information
|
||
|
|
for a licensed program is when you install a new license term for that program.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The <em>license
|
||
|
|
term</em> is the length of time the authorized usage limit for a licensed program
|
||
|
|
lasts. The usage limit can last for a version, a release, or a modification
|
||
|
|
level.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, if the license term for product X is by version,
|
||
|
|
the authorized usage limit is valid for the entire version of the product.
|
||
|
|
When license information has been installed for product X, it will not be
|
||
|
|
installed again until a new version of product X is distributed. This original
|
||
|
|
license information is preserved at the target systems even when new release
|
||
|
|
and modification levels are installed. When a new version of product X is
|
||
|
|
distributed, the usage limit may need to be changed on the target systems.</p>

<div class="section"><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><h4 class="sectiontitle">Software license keys</h4><p>The license keys
|
||
|
|
file contains the software license keys you want to distribute.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />When
|
||
|
|
you use option 40 (Create a distribution media) on the GO LICPGM menu or run
|
||
|
|
the Save System (SAVSYS) command, the system adds the file to the distribution
|
||
|
|
media. The QALZALPKEY file is deleted from the target systems after the license
|
||
|
|
keys are loaded.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>A warning message that specifies the date that the
|
||
|
|
grace period expires is sent to the message queue each day a keyed product
|
||
|
|
is used. The message is sent to the QSYSOPR message queue and any other message
|
||
|
|
queues that you have defined through the Change License Information (CHGLICINF)
|
||
|
|
command.</p>
